Hi John, I got the impression you only fly solo - True ? If so you are
exempt, but of all the equipment in the plane, the ELT is one I would
certainly want working :-) So, I'd send the $20 - $30 to get an 121.5 if
I was not flying across the boarders. I see there is a batch of 4

I would think NAFTA was low in the priority list as it did not help the
Mexican truckers trying to drive their 18 wheelers into the US w/o
meeting US DOT regs.

The answer to your question is absolutely, there should be screws at the edge
of the prop blade openings on the aft bulkhead.
With regards to the front bulkhead, it may or may not need one. It's been my
experience that most aluminum spinners need a front bulkhead as well.
I was quite surprise

Mine sure will, and I would suggest you add them.
You have what looks like a small aluminum spinner. You may not need a
forward bulkhead if the spinner and backer plate is strong enough. If
you know the spinner manufacturer I would check to see if they recommend
a front bulkhead.
I will be using
Guys,

Shouldn't there be a pair of screws in these locations, near to the prop
blade opening?
Maybe the prior owners never felt this was finished? And how the heck

Dan,
I believe the regs say that if the airplane is equipped to carry no more
than one person, an ELT is not required. So, if you fly solo in a KR-2 that
was built with the intention of carrying a passenger, an ELT is still
required.

I know when I went from a VW to an 0-200 I had to have the FAA come out and

still show the plane with a VW. I don't believe they ever change
Guys,
To be accurate my plane never had an ELT so if I get one now it's "new"

Don't new installations require the 406 unit?

2 things,
In the regs just posted (e) 4 seems to indicate that while flying off

concur w/Mark L, these 40 hrs are not a good time to be without one).

Well if nothing else, John's going to have to get a new set of airworthiness
